Without a doubt he should play. He should play in the warm up match first to ease his nerves and get accustomed to the opposition. Considering what happened in the Asia cup and our struggles to find #s 2 and 3, he should play. He is the future. I can't see anyone else other than him at #3. I would be quite annoyed if he doesn't start. It's time to unleash the Anamul.

Yeap like most fans our minds say its about time and minimum in this series 2 games and even if he does fail so be he'll just learn from it and comeback stronger when he plays full-time against Zimbabwe early next year. Don't forget he's a fantastic fielder and overall on its own, fielding will be much better for the team naturally considering our history shows fielding wasn't our strong point. I'll put him at Number 3 after Tamim and Kayes followed by Shakib/Nasir whoever. Should've been playing in this Test match instead of Nazimuddin as he was in form and Bangladesh had nothing to lose.

Besides, there's no one else to select for these missing position(s) as players like Zunaed, Aftab, Raqibul etc have proven to be failures. So really might as well groom in a young fresh prospect and who no better than Bijoy

no rubel? rubel is actually a decent ODI pacer and with mash and nazmul the ODI pace unit is quite decent.

as for anamul coming into the ODI team this series, i want to say yes and i want to say no. he is a better longer format player so i reckon ideally it would have been better to give him a few test matches first, but then we don't have many other options. but if he is to play i think it should be at #3.

Rubel and Nazmul would be a better choice for ODIs IMO.
On topic- Anamul should have played in this test series since it's his best format, but knowing our selectors he has a pretty good chance of playing in the ODI series.

Looks like he'll debut at the expense of more experienced worldbeaters like Nazza! and Rocky.

Well you can't let him play at Under-19 level anymore considering he's going to turn 20 soon so there's really no option for him but to represent at the highest level now. Some question he's still very young and needs time blah blah blah Tamim made his debut when he was 17 this Anamul is almost 20 and we're still not sure of he's ready? common guys! at least give him a few games in the coming ODIs and make his official full-time debut early next year preferably against Zimbabwe for a first start.

shakib and rahim were very young when they debuted to and look at them 2 of BD's best, nasir and rubel were both under 20 as well when they got the call-up. so even though some talents come in young and turn out not so good, the ones that have become our best players have also come in very young. most have come in younger than anamul is and they've turned out quite well and are still improving. even naeem, he's 25 now and made his debut in 2008 so he was 20 when he debuted.

BD is in a very unique situation, you can't really compare BD to other cricket nations when it comes to selection and development of the team because in other countries they're structure is very well developed and the talent is generally about the same generation to generation give or take a great player or two.

in BD the structure isn't very good, the cricket hasn't been taken very seriously and the talent generation to generation is still improving. tbh the BD selectors have one of the toughest jobs in world cricket and it's still tough because their selection policy is constantly changing and this is mainly due to domestic quality and coach quality.

but i think finally the domestic quality and talent in BD cricket is getting to a level where the selectors can start looking at performance and consistency a lot more rather than pure talent which is what they've had to go for over the last decade.

Do you remember the final of BPL ? He was solid to handle the pressure and world class stars . Its not a joke to become highest scorer in under19 WC ! Blindly he should be in the 1st eleven. If not in the eleven then we think of conspiracy of Mushy ( He is scared to lose his position to Anamul)!!

but really if the selectors want to select him in these ODIs i really think they should have played him in the test series since that is his best format and it would have given him a better chance of finding his feet more easily.

yes, imrul and tamim had a good partnership in ODIs, imrul has been our 2nd most successful ODI opener after tamim so i think at this point he should still be there opening and play anamul at #3 as you say. better than playing nazimuddin, junaid or nafees, and i'm not sold on jahurul either.
